[size=78%]Interestingly, your 'wishlist' is a good description of the 6D, compared to your 60D...[/size]

On that note, what would such specs mean for 70D/6D pricing?Assuming that the 70D does not bring a revolution to the table but still offers better low light performance than 60D and perhaps afma, it would seem that it could easily end up being rather squeezed between the 6D and the rebel?Or perhaps the 6D will not drop as much in price as we have come to expect of new canon models?

Same great canon ergonomics and sensible button layout (hopefully closer to 60D size than 7D size)

Interestingly, your 'wishlist' is a good description of the 6D, compared to your 60D...

I am well aware of that. It along with cost is why I am considering a 6D. But owning and using a Nex6 I realize there is room for improvement in those areas. I want to see improvement in these areas. I also realize that canon subsidizes the R&D cost of its top line sensors through the sale of point-and-shoot and Rebel cameras.Canon needs to improve its APS-C sensors to stay competitive and I believe they know that. Canon still has the best system as a whole when you consider lenses.

It was not intended to be a full specification list. It should still have similar stutter speed and faster flash sink speed of the 7D vs the 6D.

I'd go for a second CF card slot. Mixing card types, forcing the use of slower SD cards, is kind of useless. I'm rather bummed the 5D III includes mixed card slot types. Everyone who has tried to use the SD to save a second copy of the image written to the CF has experienced a significant loss in FPS.

Love to see:Use of 1d series batteries and voltage for slightly faster AF with a grip.Better high ISO performance8-10 FPSAF menus like 1dx/5d3No built in flashGrip with a thumb stick like the BG-E11Viewfinder latch like 1D series61 point AF would be nice but I feel 40-50 would do just fine if they were as sensitive as the 5d3/1DxClose to or on par with 1d Series weather sealing (with grip too!).

You mean two CF card slots?! Damn... Want to buy a dozen SD cards?

That operate at 1/4 to 1/3 the speed of my CF cards? I can get up to 1000x CF cards, vs. 600x SDXC cards. Not only that, CF cards have a much lower latency, and buffer clear time with CF is three to five times faster (4-7 seconds for CF, 20 seconds for SDXC.) Even with the best of the best SDXC cards, they are still a slouch compared to even a moderate UDMA-7 CF card. I'll take the lower latency of CF at the same speed as an SD any day, even if it costs several times as much (although I'd say, given that I buy Transcend CF cards that have yet to fail me even once, the conversion rate is more like 3-4 SD cards per CF card, at mot.)

If it is up for a vote, I'm backing mixed card slots. SD cards might not be the fastest or most secure, but they are universally available. Every supermarket, tourist attraction and smaller camera shooter carries SD cards. And they're cheap. Plus nearly every laptop and tablet has a built in SD card reader. Mixed card slots give you the CF card slot for speed and reliability and an SD card slot for those "OMG I forgot spare memory cards" moments.

Besides, I thought we were almost at the point where memory card speed wasn't having a significant impact on camera FPS or buffers?

Shhh... Nobody's going to buy my SD cards if you say it out loud... Seriously, didn't think there was so big a difference. What about camera size with two CF slots?
